ORNAMENTAL BRACKET.

Application filed April it,

To all Ii /2.0m. may (FOHCG/JR.

Be it known that I. JOSEPH A. CARMODY, a citizen of the l nited Eitates, residing; at Seattle. in the county of King and State of ll ashington, have invented acertain new and useful Improvement in Ornamental Brackets. of which the following is a speci fieation.

My invention relates to improvements in ornamental brackets for furniture and the object of my invention is to provide a bracket which may be pivotally secured to the rear side of a post orstationary upright member and which will extend around such post or upright member to support any useful or ornamental article on the front side of said post or upright member.

A further object is to provide a bracket of this nature which is particularly well adapted for supporting a vase or similar receptacle wherein flowers may be placed and which bracket is provided with a band that may extend around the vase to support the same ant may be adjusted slightly if desired to make it fit vases or receptacles of different size.

My invention consists in the novel con struction, adaptation and combination of parts as will be more clearly hereinafter described and claimed.

In the accompanying drawings Figure 1 is a fragmentary view in elevation of a mirror whereon one of my brackets is installed.

Fig. 2 is an enlarged view in cross-section substantially on broken line 2 2 of Fig. 1. showing the bracket with the vase removed therefrom; and

Fig. 8 is a view partly in cross-section and partly in elevation. substantially on a broken line 3, 8 of Fig. 2, showing the bracket as it might appear if removed from the mirror.

Like reference numerals designate like parts throughout the drawings.

Referring to the drawings, the numeral 5 designates the vertical post on one side of a dresser to which post is pivotally connected, in a well known manner, a mirror 6.

My invention comprises a bracket member having curved supporting arm 7, the inner end of which is bent downwardly as at 8 and is adapted to fit within a socket 9 that is seemed by screws 10 to the rear side of the post or upright member 5.

The front end of the bracket arm 7 is Specification of Letters Patent.

forked as at 11 and is adapted for the reception of a lug 12 on a plate 13, the lug 12 being pivotally secured to the end 11 of the bracket arm 7 by a pin or rivet 14:.

The plate 18 has circular metallic band 15 secured thereto, the band 15 being large enough to extend around and serve as a support for a. vase 16 wherein flowers may be placed.

One end of the band 15 is preferably secured to the plate 13 by a bolt 17 that passes through a suitable slot 13 in the plate 13 so that the size of the circular band may be adjusted slightly, if desired, to make it suitable for the reception of vases of slightly different size. and to make the band fit the body of a vase at a point where it will produce the most artistic appearance.

The curved bracket arm 7 is of such shape as to permit the vase holding device to be positioned directly in front of the post 5, as shown by full lines in Fig. 2, or to be turned outwardly at any angle between this position and a position directly at one side of the post 5, as shown by broken lines, the pivot pin 14L making it possible to always keep the plate 13 adjusted in. a plane that is substantially parallel to the plane of the mirror 6.

It will be obvious that. if desired. a shelf or other form of holder may be substituted for the circular band 15 and that various changes in the precise form of construction and arrangement of parts of my invention may be made without departing from the spirit thereof.

hat I claim is:

An apparatus of the class described, comprising an upright support; a curved bracket arm adapted to extend around one edge of said support; a socket secured to the rear side of said support; downwardly turned shank on the rear end of said curved bracket arm and arranged to fit within said socket; a plate pivotally secured to the front end of said curved bracket arm; and a circular band having flat plate engaging feet, one fixed to the plate and the other adjustably secured thereto with the band adapted to extend around and support circular bodies of different diameters.

In witness whereof, I hereunto subscribe my name this 8th day of April A. D. 1919.

JOSEPH A. CARMODY.
